There are number of papers through out the territory ether wiliu.ly or ignorant ly paradlng through theIT columns the stsl ment that no 1urnals of the pfo,eedins, of the ur,een,h legislature were ksp.
 The statement Is false from beginning to end. A complete journal record WAS krl of each days Prooeeoings and properly signed and approved.

IL makes but lit;le difference wh~t ''fan;ers' say, the members criticised are wiling to stand by ther record and be judged by thelr cous:ituertS.-Tombsione Dem ocrat.
 The editor of the paper from which the above paragraph WAS clipped IS J. M. Bracewell, who was member of the lower house of the Fourteenth Leglsa- i've assembly. Mr BracewelI mas re- centy been absent ia Caii;orI n, g,tiing married, hence We cannot believe that h. penned the paragraph in question, as t IS absolutely and unequivocally false. No record of the proceedings of the last legislature was kspt exceit the rough daly minutes oi the chief clsrk of each house, which were kept tn all kinds oi aobreviaiions. After being read, they were rolled up and placed away in the pigeon-holes Of an old desk.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-In political
circles speculation is still rife as to
the successor of Secretary Lamar in
the Cabinet, in the event the latter
receives an appointment to the United
States Supreme Bench. Senator Ran
SONS very emphatic declaration that
he would not exchange his seat in the
Senate for place in the Cabinet seems
to have been accepted in good faith
by the political prognosticators. In
connection with the suggestion that
Senator Colquitt would succeed Sec
rotary Lamar, one of the reasons as
signed in favor of the appointment
was that it would enable Governor
Gordon of Georgia to return to the
United States Senate. Secretary La
mar and Governor Gordon are old
friends, and it was said that the Sec
rotary is anxious to have Gordon re-
turn to public life in Washington.
